If truth is more convincing, why would I lie to you.

Yesterday, I had the honour of celebrating the graduation of 850 young innovators from TechRise Cohort 3. These brilliant minds have completed intensive ICT training and are now equipped to shape Abia’s digital future.

To encourage their excellent performance, I have:

* Approved automatic employment into the State Civil Service for the 19 best-graduating students.
* Directed that all 850 graduands receive ₦100,000 each.
* Gifted them the laptops used during training, now theirs to keep.

Beyond these, I have instructed our ministries to integrate TechRise talents into government ICT projects, ensuring their skills directly improve public service delivery. A special salary structure for ICT professionals in the civil service will also be introduced.

I urge our graduands to remain committed to continuous learning. The greatest reward of the programme is the knowledge and skills they now possess. Use them to build businesses, create innovations, and uplift society—not for harmful purposes.

I am particularly proud of the team that developed a functional drone. We will support them in moving this innovation from concept to commercial reality.

Finally, we are working to establish international-standard ICT certification centres in Abia and expand internet access across the state in partnership with MTN.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to our graduands, once again. You are the true architects of our collective future.

@GreatAbia @kepukepunews The kind of partnerships I like to see.

@PThussy34 @Akujachaa @iam_Jerrycool I am happy to see people who share similar opinion with me on this matter. We can't continue to blame the British with our exposure and academic excellence in 2026.

@FuckCapitalizm @amba_newsline "African rulers are cowards and money-drunk" because the citizens let them. If the elites who are well travelled & well read could join hands with RULERS to impoverish their fellow Africans then it means that something is fundamentally wrong with the mind of Africans not Oyibo.

“thank you Mr President for making sure democracy lives on because you fought for it.”

The typical Nigerian practice of flattery and exaggerated praise. Blowing smoke up one’s ass. “Chairman!” “Oga ndi oga!” “After you, na God!”
Overwrought. Gratuitous. Meaningless.

Mr President was doing his job. And one does not applaud a tenor for clearing his throat.

Such obsequiousness that fetishizes people at the top stripping them of understanding of their basic responsibilities and the gravity, complexity and sacredness of their role have no room in a democratic system that needs to build strength to serve its true purpose.
(And no it’s not a demonstration of culture or good manners. Democracy is a system, not a cultural fetish)

This video is from Ecuador 🇪🇨 💔
Nigeria 🇳🇬 was one of the countries that supplied oil-palm seed used in developing Ecuador’s palm oil industry.

Today, Ecuador is one of Latin America’s major palm oil producers.
Do what you can with this information 💔

@heisW4 @christipikz @realyobarnub I am happy someone else js seeing it differently. We are not the only people colonised- Singapore, Malaysia etc but Africans are waiting on Europeans/Americans to save them forgetting that we are all in competition. They influence our politics because we let them do it.

[Madu @Maduceze]

@FuckCapitalizm @amba_newsline Nobody is disputing the fact that they always try to influence our elections, the question is why do we allow them? If we are equal beings with same mental capacity, why do we allow them? I don't think they treat China, Singapore, Malaysia etc differently. It is now up to us!

[Madu @Maduceze]

@FuckCapitalizm @amba_newsline Its even worse if we know they are still doing it and we allow it with all our exposure and education in 2026? Africans are being treated like lesser beings everywhere because we have refused to self develop. Majority of young Africans want to move to Europe or America...too bad.

[Madu @Maduceze]

@FuckCapitalizm @amba_newsline The big challenge for us is having realised they did us no good, why have we not collectively committed to unbundling whatever they did to us? We are not the only people colonised. We should be sitting round table talking about these issues as intellectuals without fighting.

@Bizdigital1 @myabiadaily I'm sorry 😊. There is no reasonable country that considers Keke as a sustainable means of transport. Tricycle is only a means of transportation within a large factory or industrial complex and not for city transport. Government should focus on city buses (BRT), tram, train etc

@Victorokeke_ I was waiting for you to echo "Igbo Kwenu" after collecting the award. Congratulations 🎊

In 2015 when minimum wage was N33k ($183), 1$ was about N180. Fast forward to 2026 with minimum now N77k ($55), $1 = N1400. So, minimum wage in 2026 should be around N255k.

@Asuquo_MJ @KayodeOkikiolu Government needs to make available the necessary equipments and enforce compliance. We pay tenement rates yet the councils or the LGAs do nothing with it. A lot of job opportunities can be created through this. Everything is rocket science in Nigeria.

Street trading is one of the major reasons we have

- Uncoordinated employment
- Very high fake goods penetration
- Dirty cities
- A Sicker population

Take out street trading by 80%

Watch big retail employ more workers with health insurance, PTO, and better salary

Take out street trading by 80%
And watch Nafdac find it easier to do their jobs by monitoring fake products in circulation

Nafdac currently cannot monitor fake products in circulation because in cities there are over 1 million people selling these items.

With big retail and medium sized retail, Nafdac can work better

More importantly, we can sue and get compensated. If you buy expired items from a street trader, you cannot sue. But if you buy it from Jendol or Spar, you can sue

The more the lawsuits, the quicker they change for good.

Street trading is the 50% foundation to the low quality life we live in Nigeria

We must take a bold step in our major cities, to eliminate street trading by 80%

“Onyeaka Ozioma Elizabeth was spotted in the premises of the Federal High Court, Abuja and she informed me that she was arrested at 33 Onitsha, Anambra State over 5 years and 3 months ago by the DSS and dumped in WAWA MILITARY DETENTION CENTER IN KAINJI, NIGER STATE WITHOUT ACCESS TO HER FAMILY or lawyer. Her sister, whose phone number Ozioma Elizabeth gave to me when contacted could not believe that Ozioma Elizabeth was still alive until she saw this video. What manner of trial or justice can come from such illegal and dehumanizing detention? See fear written all over her face. Brought from Anambra to KAINJI, NIGER STATE, to Abuja; towns and cities she has never been to and away from everything that she knows, to face trial. Trial for being Biafran? Why nobody has ever faced trial for being Oduduwa and certainly none will ever face trial for being Arewa. Nigeria, a country of injustice.” - By Barr. Nnaemeka.

Estate developers and engineers want you to build your own house while financial advisers and stockbrokers want you to invest. If you can balance it then fine, otherwise do what works for you. At the end of the day, we are all not coming out of this place alive.
